El Centenario(original) |
| Si eres pobre te humilla la gente |
| Si eres rico te tratan muy bien |
| Un amigo se metió a la mafia |
| Porque pobre ya no quiso ser |
| Ahora tiene dinero de sobra |
| Por costales le pagan al mes |
| Todos le dicen el centenario |
| Por la joya que brilla en su pecho |
| Ahora todos lo ven diferente |
| Se acabaron todos sus desprecios |
| Nomás porque trae carro del año |
| Ya lo ven con el signo de peso |
| Lo persigue el gobierno gabacho |
| Pero el no deja de trabajar |
| A los ángeles va cada rato |
| Y regresa con un dineral |
| El recibe órdenes desde arriba |
| Y las cumple a como dé lugar |
| Al peligro ya se acostumbro |
| Y por eso no le teme a nadie |
| En su Lincoln se pasea tranquilo |
| Por Tijuana y por Guadalajara |
| Por los Angeles y San Fransisco |
| Y también por las Vegas Nevada |
| Con la mafia se gana dinero |
| Pero se necesita valor |
| Porque aquí no hay ningún parentesco |
| Y no se admite algún error |
| Siempre te andas rifando el pellejo |
| Con las leyes o con el patrón |
| (translation) |
| If you are poor people humiliate you |
| If you are rich they treat you very well |
| A friend joined the mafia |
| Because he no longer wanted to be poor |
| Now he has money to spare |
| For sacks they pay him per month |
| Everyone tells him the centenary |
| For the jewel that shines on her chest |
| Now everyone sees it differently |
| All your contempt is over |
| Just because it brings car of the year |
| They already see it with the peso sign |
| The gabacho government persecutes him |
| But he doesn't stop working |
| He goes to Los Angeles every so often |
| And he comes back with a fortune |
| He takes orders from above |
| And he fulfills them at any cost |
| He's used to danger |
| And that's why he's not afraid of anyone |
| In his Lincoln he walks calmly |
| Through Tijuana and Guadalajara |
| Through Los Angeles and San Fransisco |
| And also for Las Vegas Nevada |
| With the mafia you make money |
| But it takes courage |
| Because here there is no kinship |
| And no mistake is allowed |
| You're always raffling off your skin |
| With the laws or with the boss |
